/*
 * (linux/x86) execve("/bin/sh", ["/bin/sh"], NULL) / xor'ed against Intel x86 CPUID - 41 bytes
 *
 * The idea behind this shellcode is to use a *weak* pre-shared secret between the attacker and
 * the attacked machine. So if a 3rd party side would try to run this shellcode and would produce 
 * a different CPUID output (e.g. different arch) the shellcode won't work. In addition this also
 * prevents from having the '/bin/sh' string visible on the wire.
 *
 * The shellcode key is (0x6c65746e, 'letn') and expected to be in %ecx register after CPUID
